Hi,
I thought I'd post an update to this thread. I had been trying to get Oracle working with ActiveState perl for MAC. No particular reason for doing this, I wan introduced to Perl and on the Wion32 enviroment with ActiveState as "the one to use." I could not get Orcale:DBD to install correctly - the make failed miserably. The MAC I have has a built in perl (of course) so, I ripped out ActiveState and abandoned PPM, used CPAN to get the modules I need and they downloaded and installed first time. Thereafter my script works fine. Connecting to Oracle with Oracle Instant Client 10_1. DBI and ORACLE::DBD modules installed.
